It's not rude - maybe he doesn't like me. Exactly when he'd have had the chance to form that change of opinion in the 10 hours we've spent together in the last 10 years is an interesting question.....

by benge inhi hope you can help.. what is disassociation?
is it why despite a recent reestablishment of communications with my dad has dissolved into stilted telephone conversations and a request for me not to contact him?.
he and his family have been jw's for ten years, and although it hasn't been the closest of relationships in that time it has not reached this level before.. i have never been in the jw's and had never thought that they would promote the cutting off of family.

Yeru - thanks for your reply.
I do not follow any religion, and have always treated his with respect, but little active interest. I do wonder if he sees me as a package with my mum and sister as part of his "past". The wonder of it is that after ten years of on and off contact we very recently saw eachother, and I laid my heart on the line - telling him how I loved and missed him and how now as I am comtemplating fatherhood I would like his advice. It all seemed a breakthrough but it is since then that he has asked me not to call for a while etc. etc. - he is the same with my sister.
If it is not a JW thing - and I am quite open to that - the barriers that it presents are not the easiest to circumvent.
Thanks again.

Hi hope you can help.
What is disassociation? Is it why despite a recent reestablishment of communications with my dad has dissolved into stilted telephone conversations and a request for me not to contact him?
He and his family have been JW's for ten years, and although it hasn't been the closest of relationships in that time it has not reached this level before.
I have never been in the JW's and had never thought that they would promote the cutting off of family. Bemusedly I started looking for information on the web and ended up here.
Any advice or shared experience would be gratefully received.
Thanks.
